Welcome to the Jelly Jazz web site
Jelly Jazz, the grand daddy of the funk and jazz scene in the South West of England. Running continuously for 30 years at various venues across the region and beyond, making it one of the country's, if not one of the world's longest running club nights! Specialising in dancefloor rockin' funk, soul and jazz, spiced up with the best of nu-funk, breaks, beats, Latin, drum & bass and whatever fits the Jelly Jazz vibe. It's genre un-specific, but totally funky.
